Pentax IQ Zoom 145 M Super Quartz Date 35mm Camera (wood grip)

Fantastic pictures! Easy to use........2001-08-29

My wife and I have tried to find a good point and shoot 35mm camera to replace our Konica Revio Z2 APS camera that took terrible pictures. We tried the Yashica Zoomate 140, and had ok results, but for the money, we thought we could do better. So we have tried this Pentax with 2 rolls of Fuji 400 film so far, and the pictures are superb! To get really high quality pictures, you need to use the focus-lock feature and read the manual thoroughly. Once you understand how the camera focuses, it's a snap to take amazing pictures. The color saturation is the best we've seen in any camera we've ever owned. This camera really shines in outdoor lighting, and the panorama mode takes sharp pictures. Even fully zoomed to 145mm, the pictures were crystal clear. We used the timer and a tripod and had amazing SLR-type results. For $..., this camera can't be beat. It is a little bigger than most compact cameras, but it's very sturdy. My experience with tiny cameras is that they take lousy pictures, so I was actually encouraged by this camera's more substantial size.

You won't be disappointed.......2001-03-03

I am absolutely thrilled with the quality of the photographs produced by this camera. The pictures are crystal clear and resemble photos taken with an SLR camera. The camera has all the features, including red eye reduction, panoramic, date imprint, several different flash modes, and a terrific 145 zoom. Despite all the special features and settings, it's very user friendly and uncomplicated to operate. I purchased it to replace a Minolta Freedom 140 (supposedly the top of the line camera in this class...but has been discontinued), and like it better than the Minolta because it's much simpler to operate. I don't think anyone would be disappointed with the purchase of this Pentax. It takes great black and whites, too.

Product Description

The IQZoom 145M Super Date's 38-145mm ultra-zoom lens, with focal length indicator, offers unmatched versatility and high image quality at all subject distances. Zoom in on your subject matter, or frame the entire scene with the wide-angle setting - the choice is yours. Ideal for capturing subjects at ease, the longer working distance means more natural-looking shots. Quite a feat for a compact camera that fits in the palm of your hand.

Amazon.com Product Description

The Pentax IQ 145M Super Zoom with its brushed metal frame weighs only 8.3 ounces, but contains powerful features to make it versatile enough for any photo situation. The 38-145mm zoom lens can magnify the image up to 3.8 times, giving you a wide range of shooting options. The LCD panel sports large icons and numerals to keep you informed of current operating modes.

The passive five-point autofocus system ensures sharp and clear photos, even when subjects are off center or behind glass. The autoexposure and autoflash keeps subjects well exposed. You compose your shots with the "actual image" viewfinder, which is designed to provide an accurate preview of the finished photo.

Film handling is completely automatic--from loading to advancing to rewinding. You can switch in midroll from standard to panorama format to get that extra-wide shot; or, use the zoom macro to get close-ups of flowers or other detailed objects. The 10-second self-timer is always useful for self-portraits or group photos. You can also imprint the date (or day and time) onto your photographs to remember when a picture was taken. To conserve battery energy, the camera automatically shuts off after three minutes of no use.

Easy to use & good quality photos.......2004-05-04

Just bought this camera from Amazon. Impressed with the super fast delivery time (opted for free shipping) & the price.

The camera is really easy to use and if you have used any automatic camera, then this one can be mastered in absolutely no time. There are no extra frills, buttons & lights to confuse an automatic camera user. Just point, zoom & click.

The camera works perfect and the quality of the pictures is very impressive. I use ASA 200 or 400 and worked fine with both. A very good option to take along with the digital camera as a second option.

viewfinder is out of focus.......2003-12-27

I've experimented with this camera 3 times now including a DisneyWorld trip. The viewfinder is out of focus. Sometimes it's hard to find your subject in the viewfinder too. But lo and behold, the pix come out great! Not sure if the viewfinder problem is common but I didn't have time to return it for another. It's definately worth the $90!!!

Awesome Zoom and fast focus.......2003-11-09

I was looking for a camera that could take some knocks when I dont want to take my $1000 Nikon SLR around. I know that Pentax made excellent optics but this deal was much better than I anticipated.
PROs:
*FAST auto focus ..not sluggish like some inexpensive point and shoot caneras.
*Excellent Pentax glass lens. Not a cheap non branded piece of glass
* Multi zone focusing like my $1000 Nikon
*Long zoom that brings the image 4 times closer with no distortion like in a digital zoom camera

*No shutter lag as in all digital cameras
* Simple drop and load film loading
*Solid construction for a $150.00 camera.
*Free shipping!

Cons:
* Not pocket size, but controls are easy to accces for my large handed husband.
* no others that I found since having this for 60 days. I just bought another for a xmas gift today after I sale for $99!

Overall an outsatnding value that delivers picture quality [ I use Kodak Gold 400 speed] on par with SLR cameras.

Don't waste your money...........2003-01-09

I bought this phone at a local retail establishment and have hated it since I bought it. From day one the phone picked up a lot of static and interference when I was on a call. Occassionally it would clear up for a moment or two, but no more than that. Apparently callers could hear me fine, but I could not hear them at all. I also do not like that the keypad does not illuminate which makes it very hard to use at night or in a dark room.

bad sound quality.......2002-11-29

I thought I was getting a brand name at a great price. Unfortunately the sound quality is so bad that we only use the phone for the caller id. Worst phone that I've ever owned.

Save Your Money! Buy Another Phone!.......2001-11-22

I bought this phone at what I thought was a bargain price a while back, but it turns out I got what I paid for. The phone worked alright for several months. A little echo on the sound quality, but otherwise decent--until it just stopped working. The base charges the phone, and indicates it is charged. But the phone no longer responds.

Trouble with the microwave.......2001-09-14

The phone seems nice, until someone runs the microwave, then you can't hear a thing the person is saying! Otherwise I think it's a good buy for the buck, just keep the base away from the kitchen!

Beware!.......2001-08-20

Don't be lured in by the affordable price, sometimes you really do get what you pay for! I recently bought this phone, and will be returning it as soon as possible. The reception is awful, it breaks up 2 rooms away from the base, and has static even when standing near the base. Worse yet, I have missed calls waiting for the phone to find a channel after trying to pick up an incoming call. Poor performance, cheap feel and plain design. Uugghh.
